So, it's the "odd man out" of the Halloween series, but if you examine it on it's own merits, it's a pretty decent horror film.

Cecil from Good Bad Flicks does a pretty neat "exploring" video here, giving some interesting trivia and background info.

Isn't this the unconnected movie which has the exploding Halloween masks? That was more disturbing than the other Halloween movies as it was less predictable than a lumbering maniac who was going to whittle down a group of teens.

The idea behind the Halloween movies was that they would be a series of unconnected horror movies (other than that they were set around Halloween obviously), sort of like a feature length Twilight Zone. The idea was abandoned however after the third movie tanked and they went back to Michael Myers.

Which really sucks because HALLOWEEN 3 was the only good movie beyond the first that was worth a f**k.
I thought it was a great film and yeah, the Twilight Zone concept would have been an interesting path to go down.
Instead of the repetitive crap sequels we got.

I really, genuinely like Halloween III a lot, and have since I first saw it on TV in the mid 80s. In fact, it's just about the only Halloween movie that I'm not terminally sick of.

Love Good Bad Flicks.  He's one of the few internet film reviews I can stand now a days. 


I think in order for the Halloween series to be the anthology series it was intended to be, Season of the Witch needed to be the second  movie in the franchise-not the third.  Having the sequel still be a Michael Meyers story probably solidified in people's minds that this was his series.  (Even though Halloween 2 ended with what seemed a definitive death for the character)

Halloween could have been the Michael Myers movie.  Halloween 2 should have been Season of the Witch  , Halloween 3 could have been something completely different, like say Attack of the Killer Jack o' Lanterns.

I always liked Halloween III, even though it has its share of flaws and weaknesses I would still rate it "good".
